The long, long river
A single line
On the snowy plain

Raconte moi l'orage
La pluie qui tambourine
Raconte moi le vent
Qui siffle en chantant
Quand la nature est la musicienne
Et ta maison, son instrument

Au coeur de ton abri
Tu écoutes et tu vibres

Parle moi des rayons du soleil
Qui se faufilent à travers les persiennes
Et parsèment ta chambre de pointillés

Parle moi de cette partition de lumière
Qui s'infiltre, éclabousse tout
De ses variations sublimes

Raconte moi 
Quand tu ouvres ta porte
Cet immense arc-en-ciel 
Qui déploie juste au-dessus
La gamme infinie des couleurs

Debout sur le perron 
Tu exultes, tu vibres

Translation:
Tell me about the storm
The drumming rain
Tell me about the wind
Who whistles while singing
When nature is the musician
And your house, his instrument

In the heart of your shelter
You listen and you vibrate

Tell me about the sun's rays
That sneak through the shutters
And dot your room with dots

Tell me about this partition of light
That infiltrates, splashes everything
Of its sublime variations

Tell me
When you open your door
This huge rainbow
That deploys just above
The infinite range of colors

Standing on the porch
You exult, you vibrate

Raconte Moi - Deepman & Luciole Langevine

i request
let me go
don't hold me here
against my will

i say release me
freedom behind me
stained glass walls
fragments that bind me

and so i cry
just let me fly, clipped wings 
confine me to the ground

i have a voice
i won't be bound
i have potential, hear my sound

i demand
you give me space
i wont surrender
this is my place

my day will come
i'll be unfurled
i will escape
i'll change my world

For Junto Project 0464: Blanket Song
Ok, this is not a usual junto submission for me as this is a personal track I’ve been working on for the past two weeks, and I was planning to properly release/distribute this one as soon as I finish it. But it suits the challenge so much that I’ll share it here first even if I tweak it a little bit next week for release.

Sometimes, when I hear music that inspires me to do something remotely similar, I start by learning (sometimes even recording) the part that produced a spark on me (a chord progression, a groove etc) and I work my song on top of that.

These past weeks I watched a show, *The Leftovers* season 1, and the music (by Max Richter) got on my head. So, I started recording it to try to analyse what’s so powerful on its simplicity, then try to do something similar. I did some changes, a different little melody, some notes on the arpeggio, and left it there.

Then a friend gave me an old Grestch snare drum, I did some recording at the end of the session I was working at that moment (my  Leftover-nick track) to check the snare’s sound, and loved it, reminded me of Gaisbourg’s “Melody Nelson” album so I added a picked jazz bass, and organ and then (why?) I decided to combine both things: **Max Richter meet Serge Gainsbourg**.

For a whole week I did some “serious” composition after that, the results are quite original and personal I think.
So I decided to dedicate the song to all Scorpios around (like me, and a dozen friends and relatives that celebrate their birthdays these fist 22 days of November and late October)
To stay on the stealing/inspiring mood, I nicked the title from some lyrics by Phoebe Bridgers (with whose music I’ve been seriously infatuated BTW)

So, this one’s for Max Richter, Serge Gainsbourg, Phoebe Bridgers and all Scorpios around.

Officially released Dec 30th 2020

Thanks to the lockdown and the lack of proper work on these past 2 months I decided to (finally) open and old box of DAT I got from my storage place in Argentina when I was forced to close it and decide what to keep (bring it home on the plane), what to sell, what to discard.
These DAT (my go-to recording/archival media in the 90s)  included loads of tapes with Jams and impromptu encounters that I recorded there live and never ever listened to.
I realize now how good that attitude was,( just tape everything that happens at home or archival purposes), I did that all the time, stopped later, I promise to do it again in the future.

I discovered many gems, funny and intense moments, I include here one rehearsal for a song I composed in 1985 (one of my first proper composition) . I make a little bass solo that's pretty lame, but my partners live-at-home performance is awesome and I'm glad to make this available for you to listen and criticize.

This happened in Buenos Aires, March 9th 1995 at my home/studio in the Julian Alvarez street of the Palermo Viejo area. Recorded live to DAT (one mic for the guitar, one for the bass, a stereo AT mic for the percussion set.

Gabriel Kirschenbaum: spanish guitar

La China (live studio rehearsal) - disquiet0467

A short piece played on the piano in Wolvercote Village Hall.

Interlude

Music and voice : Deepman
Words and voice : Luciole Langevine

C'est au profond de l'ombre
Dans le silence épais
Au centre de tes nuits
Qu'il éclot de tes rêves
Captif consentant
Pris au tendre filet 
De ton espoir immense

Il flotte
En suspension

Cœur d'ambre lumineux
Cerclé de lave intense
Cocon de tes soupirs
Glisse à l'orée du monde

Et les mailles ondulantes caressent sa lumière
Sous le souffle léger de tes lèvres entrouvertes
Sur ton visage muet au doux regard de brume
Lentement se dessine en tracés délicats
La résille ténue de ce qui jadis fut.

Translation:
It's deep in the shadows
In the thick silence
At the center of your nights
It hatches from your dreams
Consent captive
Caught in tender fillet
Of your immense hope

It floats
In suspension

Luminous amber heart
Surrounded by intense lava
Cocoon of your sighs
Glides to the edge of the world

And the undulating meshes caress its light
Under the light breath of your parted lips
On your mute face with a soft misty gaze
Slowly takes shape in delicate lines
The thin mesh of what once was.

Coeur De Nuit - Deepman & Luciole Langevine

You know who is meant.

As always thanks for listening!
